I am setting up SQL audit on sql servers in my environment based on requirement. I want to create database specifications ASAP database created. I tried DDL trigger but Audit doesn't support triggers. So I created audit specifications on model database. the only problem with this is every specification created on new database with same name.database specification name includes newly created database name or other methods to create database specifications on newly created databases.
We have a production server "prod" which has a user say 'test' that lets the users connect to the application and a logon trigger which stops them from connecting to the server through SSMS. I log ship 'prod' to the 'rep' database and the user 'test' is obviously created in the logshipped database 'rep' during the logshipping.
Now the login 'test' does not have any login from server 'rep', But people can still login to the 'rep' server and query the 'rep' db . I checked with SUSER_SNAME and found the SID of the user in rep server which I never created and which is not even present in the login names, Even If I create a new username in the 'prod' db, after logshipping the new user is replicated in the 'rep' server.
I create database in App_Data. Now i wish to get backup of this database and also wish to have this database in my sqlserver 05 databases. Please provide a way so that both tasks will accomplished. Thanks. With regards Dev
I have managed to create a backup of my SQL Express database by using the Transact-SQL from article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241397.
I am not sure if it backed up the correct database, as in the script from the article, there is no where for me to specify my SQL Express database. The back up file that was created after I ran the script is, msdb.dat_bak.
Now if this is the correct database, how can I restore the data into my vb.net project that holds the SQL Express Database?
I come cross some post about how to backup a database in Sql Server Management Studio Express automatically. The scripts look like as below
USE [master] GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_BackupDatabase] @databaseName sysname AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @sqlCommand NVARCHAR(1000) DECLARE @dateTime NVARCHAR(20) SELECT @dateTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),111),'/','') + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),108),':','') SET @sqlCommand = 'BACKUP DATABASE ' + @databaseName + ' TO DISK = ''C:Backup' + @databaseName + '_Full_' + @dateTime + '.BAK'''
EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlCommand END
It throws that the DDL statement is not allowed. What's wrong with it?
In my DB (SQL 2012) one windows authentication is created automatically and a schema is created exactly automatically that this user is owner of this schema. (e.g the user is domainx and schema exactly domainx).
I created a DDL Trigger on my DB to find out who and how it is created , but I didn't get any useful information.
I change the owner of schema that I can delete the schema and after that delete the user, and sometimes because the user is owner of a service , I have to alter the owner of the service to DBO and delete the user , but again and again exactly this user and schema (e.g domaninx ) are created as soon as I delete it.
I have read these topics : [URL] .... and [URL] .... but can't solve my problem.
trying to get a new database created then running a script to created the tables, relationships, indexes and insert default data. All this I'm making happen during the installation of my Windows application. I'm installing SQL 2012 Express as a prerequisite of my application and then opening a connection to that installed SQL Server using Windows Authentication.
E.g.: Data Source=ComputerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI; Then I run a query from my code to create the database eg: "CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName]".
From this point I run a script using a Batch file containing "SQLCMD....... Myscriptname.sql". In my script I have my tables being created using "Use [MyDatabaseName] Go CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTableName] .....". So question is, should I have [dbo]. as part of my Create Table T-SQL commands? Can I remove "[dbo]."? Who would be the owner of the database? If I can remove the [dbo]., should I also remove dbo. from any query string from within my code?
I cannot see the file created in the directory. The account under which sql server the agen job run have full privileges on it and is sysadmin.Then i run the Command in ssms
BACKUP DATABASE [F1SB] TO DISK = N'F:SqlBackup2014<server>F1SBFULLIGS-DB01_F1SB_FULL_20150510_214455.bak' WITH NO_CHECKSUM, COMPRESSION, ENCRYPTION (ALGORITHM = AES_256, SERVER CERTIFICATE = [serverCertificate])
and I get this error message:
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 13 BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
NOONE ASKED FOR THIS!!! why the heck is BACKUP CERTIFICATE altering the file's ACLs - it's just a PUBLIC CERT I'm exporting!!
in additions MS doesn't seem able to add the ability to re-inherit file-rights from parent objects via the command-shell.
I export the public-key for a reason! I want to import it on another machine (automatically) to establish a trust. But this freaking "feature" is costing me HOURS of research on how to get rid of these ACLs on a public certificate!!!
argh!!!
sorry, I really had to get this out!
why not at least give us a switch we can set in BACKUP CERTIFICATE command to stop this from happening?
is there a work-around? now I need to activate EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1 and EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1 just to be able to issue a (not working) DOS command cacls... to try to fix the "feature".
there's got to be a better way!!!
also - why can't there be a switch to force overwriting the target file, if it already exists? It's a BIG PAIN having to do lots of other stuff, just to be able to "backup" the certificate!
You gave us "xp_FileExist", but no xp_FileDelete with similar parameters!! again, I need to issue DOS COMMANDS just to do stuff I would not have to if someone at the levers was actually activating the back-brain!
PLEASE give me some hints on how MS recommends to solve these features!
I have database on localhost and i want to show this data on my website. I want to create a database online and want to sync with Local Host. Can it be possible syncing data automatically after some interval?
I am working towards automating the process of testing our backups. For the meantime, I do it all manually - I copy the backup files (full + transaction logs) to our test server and then run the restore script. Once database restored I run the DBCC CheckDB. The results of checkdb I manually upload to our Sharepoint portal as proof that the backup file is intact with no errors.
here are some ideas I have but have not yet tested:
Create a maintenance plan with each 3 jobs:
--> Powershell script to copy the files from Prod server to Test server - add this scrip to Job1 --> Powershell script to restore databases files - add this script to Job2 --> Run the DBCC in powershell (yet to find if possible in PS) - add this script to Job3
I would like to use seperate jobs as to get a report on the duration and status of each job
Would also like to get the results of the DBCC Checkdb as proof that no errors were found for upload to our Sharepoint portal. Dont know if possible via the job.
I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME> FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK' WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF', MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF', REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME> FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Hi all (newbie @ asp.net)(oldie @ ASP 3)What is the purpose of using an attached MDF database files in the App_Data folder on a web site as to importing it into the SQL server directly or creating it on the SQL server. Does a mdf database attached file purely use the SQL server as a connection interface.Is it something similiar to DSN(ODBC) Connections for ms access databases.
Does anyone know at what point SQL Server 7.0 decides to grow the database when the autogrow option is set? Our site just went down for 45 minutes because the growing process was taking too long as compared to the data coming in, so the device filled up.
Ray? Craig? You guys seem to know all, so jobs.com appreciates your input...
Our auditors are trying to enforce a requirement that all users be disconnected from any application or database after 15 minutes of inactivity. Is there any way to force a logoff within SQL Server? For example, someone is in Management Studio connected to a database. They should be logged off after 15 minutes of no activity.
When I create a setup program for my vb.net 1.0 app which has embedded sql express database, it successfully copies the database to the new machine alone with the upgraded app.
However, if I just copy the vb.exe app to the other pc and also copy the mdf, ldf files, I get an error opening the sql database.
I am presuming that the setup program does some kind of backup restore or detach, attach to copy in the .mdf.
If the user cannot do this from the management studio (or if they do not have the management studio installed), is there any way I can create some method to have this copying done automatically via some code by the user?
I have generated an SQL Script to script me a database, stored procs, tables, foriegn keys and users, as well as Create command and drop objects.
however it seems that it is not creating the database, if an existing database does not exist, or if it does after it has been dropped. I get this error:
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'db_name_something'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
This is the SQL:
/****** Object: Database SafeHands Script Date: 10/04/2006 02:05:30 ******/ IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name = N'db_name_something')
I know that I do not have the "GO" command, however I am trying to run the entire script from C# 2.0, using SQL Server 2000 SP4, so I have read the entire script into a string array, and split each line from the word "GO" as otherwise, I would get an error.
For a GPS utility project we are planning on extracting certain attributes from a huge "GPS Raw Data" read only database which we have access to containing GPS data from several years from several devices attached to vehicles.The data is time stamped. Where the time gap between pieces of data is more than 10 minutes, a new trip is instance is assumed and in our write access "Trip" database we create a new instance for the data clump with a new trip id along with the time range of the data. The process is to be run hourly to update the "Trip" database with new trips and append to overlapping trips. We've some questions:a) Is it easy to read from one database and write into another in c# hourlyb) How would one go about running a C# program automatically every hour on the server?c) Is there a better way to do this than an hourly update? (dynamically perhaps??)d) When querying the database and comparing the time stamps, how for instance would we go about identifying a 10 minute gap when the time/date is in the format "22/12/2007 11:25:00". I can't get my head around actually writing this - it's probably ridiculously simple
I have question about database automatically growing for SQL Server 7. It seems to me that SQL database automatically grow will ONLY happen when it's getting really full, maybe above 90% full. Even if you manually increase the DB size, actually the increased DB size will only keep very short time. And DB size will be back to the smaller size again. If you have any suggestions I will be really appreciated. Thanks
I have a database that I have made with Sql Server 2005 Express. I am building a windows app using this db as the back end. I am using visual C# Express as well.
I found out during this project that I had to detach my database in order to establish a new connection to it using the express editions. I learned that this is a short coming of the Sql Server 2005 Express Edition. So I detached my db. When I reattached my database the name had the path to where the file was in it's name. I don't think I have done anything to cause this. But, obviously something went wrong.I have a jpeg screenshot of this but can't post it in this forum.
I created another small database as a test to see if the same thing would happen again. The database only has one table with two columns. I detached and then reattached it with no problems. It did not get the weird file name that automatically included the path to the file.
Does any one know what is going on with this? Do you know how I can reattach this database and only have the original name(not the path to the file)?

I been asked recently in the interview thatHow can I detect changes automatically in the SQL Server Database when anything is updated, deleted or inserted?if anyone can help me in this that will be really great. I dont actually know whether I can ask this here but I wanted to know the answer for this and thought this might be right place to ask? sorry if I am wrong? Thanks in Advance
Hello! I have created my self a person website in VS2008 using Linq and ahev downloaded a copy of sql express to use as my database when working on it at home. I have just noticed, now I am trying to upload it to a server that my sql express is automatically creating the database in my app_data folder, this is causing me problems, as I don't want it to do this. I want it to be able to point it at a full version of SQL server. Is there some setting I have missed? Of how can I stop tis automatic creation of the database? Thanks Bex
I need to update one table in database A based on the other database B, which is on a romote server. The requirement is to update it automatically at 12:00 in the mid-night everyday. Database A is MS SQL Server 7, and database B is Oracle database.
What's the best to implement it? I thinking to use trigger, am I right?
I am looking to create a server wide trigger which will fire whenever a database gets created, I would like to know if there are any gotchas or anything that I need to look out for/test specifically.
The idea is to automatically grant some permissions and take some other actions whenever a database gets created.
I have some database tables, and each one of them have a creation_date and modified_date in them. I was trying to figure out a way where when a row in one of these tables is changed using Enterprise Manager (Database -> Tables -> select table -> right click -> select all rows -> change a field in a row inside a table), is there a way apart from triggers, such that the "modified_date" column for that row get changed to 'getdate()' (rather picks up the current datetime).
Dear group,I have to replicate remote data to a SQL Server in the headquarter.The data are on a site which does not have permanent online-connectionto the headquarter.I have written a script which replicates the data and i want to set upa process / batch on the headquarter-machine which roughly does thefollowing1) Connect to the remote site2) start replication script (in fact a stored procedure)3) on success disconnect from the remote siteAll this has to run automatically e.g. during nighttime.Could someone please outline how i set up the connection and keep itup during my database-action and how to automatically disconnect aftersuccess of my replication script.I'd be jolly grateful.Thanks in advance and Greetings from ViennaUli
